This is probably one of my favorite looks that I pulled together recently. Especially because I've been looking forward to wearing this skirt without tights ever since I got it for Christmas. I love that this look has a business casual feel to it with the midi skirt but still looks fun because of the neon color. Plus the urban looking chain from H&M is really the finishing touch on the whole look.
What do you think of this combo?

How to Wear Neons in the Winter
During September Fashion Week you couldn't flip through street style blogs without spotting someone like Miroslava Dum and Shiona Turini in bright neons. I'm sure many of us have put away our bright clothing in exchange of the winter darks, but with the neon trend you just might want to dig out that neon skirt.
Romwe Puff sleeve top, $26.99
ASOS body con skirt, $18
Opaque stocking, $9.99
TopShop high heel boots, $124
Wearing neons during the winter is not as tricky as you might think. When wearing bright colors during the winter months you might want to tone it down a notch...so with that in mind pair up your neons with nude and neutral colors. A nude knitted sweater like the Romwe Puff Sleeve Top ($26.99) added with a neon bottom can give the whole look a winter feel do to it's chunkyness. Knitted sweaters are the essential winter piece that can pretty much go with anything. Sticking with the rule of dark accessories still with black tights and black booties. If you want to add pops of color play around with colorful small accessories like the TNA belt from Aritzia ($20...on sale in store). Doing a belt over a sweater and skirt can also help show off your shape by show casing your hips. There is no need to hide your figure in chunky knits!
Here is my take on the look:
What do you think of neon for winter? Will you give it a try?

Party Dresses: Neons
Make a pop this holiday season in a neon bright dress or with some bright accessories. A sexy little number will get you noticed but a bright playful dress will make a statement!
Bright and Sexy
This season show some skin and try a cut out dress. We all know cleavage can sometimes be to much but bare some skin my showing a little of you back like the Motel Renee Sweetheart Dress ($40). If your looking for a little more back coverage the Miss Selfridge Scarlet Ladder Bodycon Dress ($59) is for you. This dress has a cut out effect both in the front and in the back. The good thing is that for the bustier girl who needs support this dress back is a bit higher so that you can still rock a bra if needed (stick with strapless if you can). When doing bright color dresses have fun and try to color block your look with a fun bag like the Asos Slot Through Portfolio Clutch ($36) and the Oversize Turnlock Clutch from bardot.com.au ($35). Stick with family colors like orange and yellow or orange and pink. If you do color block your dress with a colored purse stick with neutral colors for shoes and other accessories. Try a funky shoe like the Lush Leopard Strappy Sandals from Topshop ($130). Same rules apply when doing a printed shoe stick to neutral colored accessories.
Sassy and Classy
Bring some pop to your next office party with a pretty and simple colorful dress. Keep the look classic and chic with a simple fit and flare dress like the Mid Orange Volume Fit and Flare Dress from oasis-stores.com ($60). This dress has a classic and classy cut to it that will flatter every body type. If you're looking for something with a little more but still has that classic feel to it try the Asos Lace Dress With High Neck ($99). The lace adds a bit of femininity and the fit and flare with the high neck keeps it classic. Keeping with the classy look add a feminine timeless watch, which you don't have to break the bank on. Keep your watches nude to a neutral color since you want a clean palette when pairing it up with a bright dress. Keep your shoes and other accessories a neutral color as well. If you want to spice it up just a bit try to color block a bit with your purse but don't go to bright. Do a duller bright like the dorothyperkins.com Pink/red chain clutch bag ($28) or the Asos Slot Through Portfolio Clutch ($36).
